I am running WinXP Home and have a nice big collection of wallpapers .. in fact the whole contents of "My Pictures" (which is in the "My Documents" folder).

When I want to change from one wallpaper to the other, I usually just R Click on an empty Desktop space to select "Properties" then next select "Desktop" - from where I can scroll through the lot of them to choose which one I want to be my current wallpaper.

However, when I just went to do that and selected "Desktop" there was only one picture there !!

I haven't used XP in so many years, I've forgotten how to do this. In the meantime, why don't you go to My Pictures, find the wallpaper you want, right click on it and choose "set as desktop background?"

I've found I can still "eventually" change wallpapers if I browse to My Pictures once I'm in the Display Properties box.It's just a much more long-winded route than having them all already there in the box to scroll through as they were before.

The only "different" thing I've done, from when the situation was normal to how it is now, is download The Dark Eye game from The Adventure Shop.

But I can't see why doing that should have impacted on my wallpaper access

Are you saying it doesn't "remember" the location of the picture you choose anymore? It should "remember" the location of the last picture you chose and automatically open that same location the next time you open Display Properties\Display Tab.

If it insists on going back to the same location as that one picture every time, a workaround would be to copy all your pictures and paste them in the same folder as that one.
